No can openers needed, they are flip tops.

Subject: [Philmont]: RE: CAN OPENERS@ PHILMONT
On the new food list for Philmont they are distributing cans of tuna
ECT.. in their meal packages. Does anyone know if these require a can
opener? Or are these flip top?
I came to find out some good trivia, Those small sea rashion can
openers are called P-39's. In WW 2 the pilots would refer to the
japanese ships as tin cans & the P-39 plane was the aircraft that sunk
them, hence P-39 can openers.
